Decamped Renfrew KOA, and both of us got an over dose of pollen that had collected on the tent and tarps. New heading North Bay, Ontario. Christian's allergies were a lot worse than mine, so he took a prescription antihistamine. Probably the last time he'll take that one without cutting it in half or quarters. It through him for a loop that he described as a NyQuil or Robitussin grogginess. So we took our time traversing the 180 miles on the Trans-Canada (Rt 17). We stopped a few times along the way, including a bite to eat at Moon Cafe in Mattawa. Really good pierogi dish (pic). The scenery has definitely changed from flat farmland to rolling hills(pic), dense forests and plenty of water.
Cool little town, but I imagine that the sidewalks roll back REAL early around there; and the main talk of the town probably is the construction going on at the corner of their 2 main streets, and on 17 just west of their "downtown".
After five days in a camp ground, and given Christian's condition and the rainy conditions, we decided to get a room for the weekend. Clean sheets, hot shower... Television. Way expen$$ive, but no need to rough it too much to quick. We certainly have a lot of tent living ahead of us.
Next up? Still deciding between Temagami, Killarney, or Manitoulin. Either way, the rain front will clear sometime tonight, and we will head out in the morning
